Michele went above and beyond of any Realtor. Without her we would have never found and purchased our new home. Once she knew what kind of home we were looking for, she used her vast knowledge and all her Reasources and was able to find exactly what we were looking for. Michele was very patient and helped us every step of the way. She put us at ease, gave us excellent advice, and made everything happen. Through the whole experience we all became good friends. I would call on her again for any real estate help and will recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Moving across the country and trying to find a house in this market can be extremely stressful. Thanks to Michele's help, it wasn't! she drove all over Monmouth county for us, recording videos of neighborhoods and streets to give us a feel as to what town we wanted to live in. Once we focused in on the area we most wanted (happened to be the one with the least houses available of course), she went to work and turned every stone trying to find us a great home. An off-market listing in Fair Haven turned out to be the winner and it was one of the most stress-free experiences of my life! THANK YOU Michele, I've no idea how we would've made this relocation without you!!!!! Communication was excellent - text, email, phone. Never felt like we were alone on this.

My family and I are grateful to have had Michele guiding us through the home buying process! She was patient and thorough and never pushed us to make a decision when we weren’t ready. After a long search she helped us secure our first home in Red Bank and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Michele!

My wife and I were very pleased with assistance we received from Mrs. Richards for renting our Little Silver townhouse. Michele was able to find tenant candidates quite fast. She helped us to go through their applications; thus, we could make an informative decision to whom to rent. Everything was very smooth and painless. Michele helped us find a contractor for renovations as well as assisted with compliance paperwork. This was our first experience as landlords in New Jersey. So, we had a lot of questions and concerns. Mrs. Richards was very patient with us and helped to resolve any obstacles along the way. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Michele is an amazing realtor and person! Her experience is beyond anything I expected. I didn’t know much about Monmouth County but she helped me find the right town and home. Beyond right, it’s perfect! She had a vision of what this house could be long before I could see it. I moved into my new home in Keyport, NJ (town I never heard of before she told me) almost a month ago and I’m so happy! If you are considering Monmouth County, call Michele! She’s the best!

This review is long over due. We closed 3 months ago. When we first started looking at homes we started with another broker. It was not the best experience at all. It definitely was a game changer, once we found Michelle. Working with Michelle on purchasing our first home was AMAZING!!! From day one, everything was smooth. If you want someone who is going to listen to you and show you homes that fit your search. Michele is the woman for you. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be by our side during this exciting chapter in our life.

Michele's experience and knowledge of the local market was instrumental in locating a new construction property on the Jersey Shore. She was tireless in helping negotiate various items throughout the building process leading up to closing. Her suggestion to have various inspections prior to closing was a critical step in the process that may have been overlooked by less experienced or knowledgeable agents. Michele's interest and commitment to the transaction did not stop at the closing and she has been extremely helpful in sharing her vast network of contacts to assist with the successful completion of the new home. I would highly recommend Michele!!

Michele was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient. She never pushed us to make a decision we were not comfortable with and she always put our needs first. Without Michele we would not be in the house of our dreams.

We were so lucky to have found Michele. We were struggling to find a home for months. After working with her, we found our dream home, and she made it a reality. She also came to our rescue when trying to sell our home which was a contingency for our purchase. She wore many hats, from realtor, to therapist, to detective. We couldn't ask for a better agent.

I have worked with Michele on many transactions over the years both as a buy side agent and a sell side. She provides exemplary market analysis, has tremendous communication skills, and I have recommended her to my close family and friends. If it were possible I would give her 10 stars.

"I am writing this letter to share with you my recent experience working with one of your real estate agents, Michele Kiely Richards in Rumson N.J. I worked with Michele to sell a home that I inherited, I was the executor and the estate was very special to me.
When mom passed away, she left the house to me. She knew how much I loved it with all the memories in it. In fact,over the past 6 years I have interviewed many realtors and Michele Kiely Richards is one person who stood out the most. It was not only her patience,but her understanding and support that the process would be very emotional for me. Michele treated me like family and not a client. Year after year, she sent me personalized cards, so when it came time to list the house, Michele was the person I reached out to. With all the stresses of selling a home, Michele always took the time to ease my mind and was more than supportive. When I had a moment of regret, Michele was firm with me to re-assure me that I was still in control. She staged the house so beautifully and made me more proud of the house for the showings. Michele was never more than a phone call away and I know that she went over and above and beyond to deal with many unexpected issues with the buyers which she handled on her own. She did her best to make the entire process less emotional for me and for that, I am truly grateful.
Michele Kiely Richards is a woman of great integrity, professionalism, and compassion. She is a woman I would highly recommend to my fiends, family and neighbors for their real estate needs. I am grateful for her and hope that you share in the sentiments."
